TJ,.I have a half dozen .22lrs (from match type to field type) and I think each one has it's own preference for accuracy...If my intent is for hunting or target shooting, accuracy is king in my mind and I've accumulated over 25 different brands/types in an attempt to find what each one likes...Some brands are inexpensive, and some not so much..
When I introduce my grandkids to shooting, I start with larger targets and open sights, so shooting tiny groups is not really that important until they start becoming pretty concerned about smaller targets, so my 'not so accurate' rounds don't just collect dust...Plinking at tin cans can eat up a bunch..
As stated in some of the earlier posts, for hunting purposes, some of the .22lr rounds can be pretty destructive and if you are intent on saving meat, you may not want some of the 'super explosive' or Hyper Velocity rounds, as they can shred a Rabbit or Squirrel past the point of being desirable...(Most can't make head shots all the time..)
